We show that introducing a periodic time coordinate in the models of Penner-Kontsevich type generalizes the corresponding constructions to the case of the moduli space ${\cal S}_{gn}^k$ of curves $C$ with homology chains $\gamma\in…
We present a new class of hermitian one-matrix models originated in the W-infinity algebra: more precisely, the polynomials defining the W-infinity generators in their fermionic bilinear form are shown to expand the orthogonal basis of a…
Recently subclasses of polynomial ensembles for additive and multiplicative matrix convolutions were identified which were called P\'olya ensembles (or polynomial ensembles of derivative type). Those ensembles are closed under the…
We summarize the recent results about complete solvability of Hermitian and rectangular complex matrix models. Partition functions have very simple character expansions with coefficients made from dimensions of representation of the linear…
Consider a finite covering $\beta : C \to X$ of a smooth projective curve $X$ by a reduced, projective, planar curve $C$. Associated to two general polarizations on $C$, $q$ and $q'$, one can construct the corresponding compactified Prym…
We compute the number of coverings of ${\mathbb{C}}P^1\setminus\{0, 1, \infty\}$ with a given monodromy type over $\infty$ and given numbers of preimages of 0 and 1. We show that the generating function for these numbers enjoys several…
This paper introduces a unified theoretical perspective that views deep generative models as probability transformation functions. Despite the apparent differences in architecture and training methodologies among various types of generative…
The KP hierarchy is a completely integrable system of quadratic, partial differential equations that generalizes the KdV hierarchy. A linear combination of Schur functions is a solution to the KP hierarchy if and only if its coefficients…
A recently formulated conjecture of Gamayun, Iorgov and Lisovyy gives an asymptotic expansion of the Jimbo--Miwa--Ueno isomonodromic $\tau$-function for certain Painlev\'e transcendents. The coefficients in this expansion are given in terms…
A Bely\u{\i} pair is a holomorphic map from a Riemann surface to $S^2$ with additional properties. A dessin d'enfants is a bipartite graph with additional structure. It is well know that there is a bijection between Bely\u{i} pairs and…
According to a conjecture of E. Witten proved by M. Kontsevich, a certain generating function for intersection indices on the Deligne -- Mumford moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces coincides with a certain tau-function of the KdV hierarchy.…
We construct exponentially large collections of pairwise distinct equisingular deformation families of irreducible plane curves sharing the same sets of singularities. The fundamental groups of all curves constructed are abelian.
For a Belyi function $\beta:\mathbb C\mathbb P^1\rightarrow \mathbb C\mathbb P^1$ ramified only over the points $-1,1,\infty$, a corresponding ``dessin d'enfant'' $\mathcal D_{\beta}$ is defined as the set $\beta^{-1}([-1,1])$ considered as…
Small M-theories unify various models of a given family in the same way as the M-theory unifies a variety of superstring models. We consider this idea in application to the family of eigenvalue matrix models: their M-theory unifies various…
In the past we have considered Gaussian random matrix ensembles in the presence of an external matrix source. The reason was that it allowed, through an appropriate tuning of the eigenvalues of the source, to obtain results on non-trivial…
We consider two different genus expansions of the free energy functions of Hermitian one-matrix models, one using fat graphs, one using ordinary graphs (thin graphs). Some structural results are first proved for the thin version of genus…
In this paper we show that counting Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants is universal in the sense that some other enumerative problems are either special cases or directly related to it. Such results provide concrete examples that support a…
Under a markovian evolutionary process, the expected number of substitutions per site (also called branch length) that have occurred when a sequence has evolved from another according to a transition matrix $P$ can be approximated by…
Consider a number field $K$ and a rational function $f$ of degree greater than 1 over $K$. By taking preimages of $\alpha\in K$ under successive iterates of $f$, an infinite $d$-ary tree $T_\infty$ rooted at $\alpha$ can be constructed. An…
An almost Belyi covering is an algebraic covering of the projective line, such that all ramified points except one simple ramified point lie above a set of 3 points of the projective line. In general, there are 1-dimensional families of…
